What Dies Hardest | Heroes Part I

Nov 15, 2017

Eric Poulin, host of the political podcast The People's Soapbox, takes a look at the classic 1988 action movie Die Hard, asking what its development and continued popularity tell us American cultural--both then and now.

Also, Eric and I discover something shady as we're preparing the episode to air...

This is the first part of a double feature on action movies and American culture (and one piece of a half-season mini-arc concerning the ethics of adaptation).
